In January 2018, seven-year-old Zainab Ansari was raped and murdered. Her body was discovered on a rubbish heap in Kasur, Pakistan’s "child abuse capital", sparking national outrage that reverberated across the world.

Zainab’s father, Amin, channelled his grief into a fight for justice and demanded systemic change.

But, as the number of reported child abuse cases rises, Amin wonders what justice really means.
